Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Help give my kids a cool place to sit on the carpet! So they can have their own personal space. This will add less heartache in the classroom of finding a spot to sit during circle time and or dance time. It will help our phonics time and or reading time go much smoother. And each child can have their own special smile that only they can stand on. My Students have grown so much this year and a few are headed off to kindergarten! I'm so proud of them! So this carpet will be a blessing for my future students of the next school year.
